Order of H1 Transfer and Extension

[ashluck]

I am in 6th year of H1 and have an approved I 140 with company A and planning to join company B.

My 6 years are completing in April 2014 and A will be filing for extension soon using its approved I 140.

Does it make any difference that B should apply for transfer after A has its extension approved or apply for transfer/extension before A files for extension. Both the options are viable for me but will take the one that has potential benefit if any.

Another question : If I decide to switch to C after 1 year of working with B and A has revoked its I 140, will I be able to do. I know that I will not get any further time in H1B but will I get the balance of time that was approved for B's petition, say 3 minus 1= 2yrs with C.

if you want to join B, let them do the transfer based on approved I-140 and you get 3 years H-1b extension. Why would you want to ask A to file extension. 

Another question: you have no basis to transfer your H-1b from B to C if A has revoked I-140.
